The resolution urges the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and the United States Interagency Council on Homelessness to take specific actions to enhance the effectiveness of homelessness and housing insecurity solutions in Arkansas. It highlights the challenges posed by federal mandates, such as the Continuum of Care Interim Rule and the Homeless Management Information System, which impose complex compliance measures and administrative burdens on local agencies. These federal requirements are seen as limiting the flexibility of state and local governments to develop tailored, community-specific solutions to homelessness, thereby hindering their ability to address the unique needs of diverse populations effectively.

To address these issues, the resolution calls for the repeal of restrictive federal policies, including the Continuum of Care Interim Rule and the amendments to the McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act, as well as the elimination of certain performance standards that do not reflect local needs. It advocates for a shift to block grant funding, which would provide Arkansas with greater discretion in allocating resources to meet the specific needs of its homeless and housing-insecure populations. The resolution aims to empower local agencies to create a variety of housing options and services that are more aligned with community priorities, ultimately improving the support provided to vulnerable populations in Arkansas.
